Glasgow Riverside Museum visit

Visited the new home of Glasgow’s Transport Museum at the weekend. They have an excellent variety of exhibits and plenty of space in which to show them. One criticism I would make though is that there is an almost total lack of aviation content! There is one small display about Flt Lt George Pinkerton of 602 Squadron, the centrepiece being a Douglas motorbike he owned, and there’s a model Pilcher Hawk. Beardmore’s aviation activities get a very brief mention. Considering the aviation history of the surrounding area I find this gap in the collection very strange. Still well worth a visit though nevertheless as they have some real gems on show –
